Open-air performance festival in the Pays de l'Ernée
Tous et Toutes Dehors is an open-air performance festival organized as part of the Saison culturelle de l'Ernée, in Mayenne. Every year in September, this free event offers an outdoor artistic journey combining street theater, performances, music, and visual arts, accessible from the age of 3. Set in remarkable natural sites in the Pays de l'Ernée, such as the Étang de la Briqueterie, the festival invites young and old to discover artistic offerings in the heart of nature, in a spirit of sharing and conviviality.
Presented by the Saison culturelle de l'Ernée, the Tous et Toutes Dehors festival is an outdoor artistic event that takes over the natural spaces of the Pays de l'Ernée every September. This open-air festival offers a performance trail to discover with family, in a bucolic and friendly setting.
The festival's concept is based on a walking tour outdoors, where spectators move from one point to another to discover different artistic offerings. The natural sites of the Pays de l'Ernée, such as the Étang de la Briqueterie in La Baconnière, serve as settings for these performances that play with the environment and the landscape.
The program is designed to be accessible from the age of 3, making Tous et Toutes Dehors a truly intergenerational event. The invited companies offer a variety of artistic forms:
True to the spirit of the Saison culturelle de l'Ernée, the festival is entirely free, allowing as many people as possible to enjoy quality artistic offerings. This financial accessibility helps make Tous et Toutes Dehors a popular gathering moment, where local residents and visitors come together around artistic creation.
The festival is part of the cultural dynamic driven by the Communauté de communes de l'Ernée, which develops an ambitious program throughout the year. Tous et Toutes Dehors thus complements the other highlights of the season, such as the Festival À Table in the fall, by offering a different approach to the encounter between art and territory.
